Beautiful Longhorn sculptures in a little park in downtown Dallas. Great photo ops with the Dallas skyline as a back drop.

In 1995, the Texas Trees Foundation dedicated Pioneer Plaza to the City of Dallas providing a focal point with historical significance for downtown Dallas. The Plaza commemorates Dallas? beginnings by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. The site features native plants and trees and a flowing stream in a natural setting and a re-creation of a cattle drive-in bronze with longhorn steers being driven by three cowboys on horses. Each piece of bronze art was created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. It is located adjacent to the Dallas Convention Center at Young and Griffin between the historical Pioneer Cemetery and the Dallas Convention Center. Pioneer Plaza represents the largest public open space in the central business district. Other features of Pioneer Plaza include a waterfall, man-made cliffs, native plant life, and the small historic details on the sculptures.

"Amazing"

This was an incredible visual of a Cattle drive. As I understand it, the cattle statues are an absolutely true depiction of the Long Horns, with the exception that the statues are slightly larger...
"Family Photo Fun!"

My family (all adults in their 40s, 60s, and 70s) went here to take some photos after my graduation. Everyone was impressed with how detailed and life size the statues were. We had a wonderful time!
